I noticed that Craigs List in DFW has alot of xs stuff

911 Paramedic in the big bad city.

Is there a bike I can scavenge parts off of that work well building a 650? Brakes,carbs etc?

Sounds like we can get a little group together

Turbo I ended up getting it for 900. I think I still overpaid but all the frame work is done so that will save me time and money,and hell yea,Im down for a cross Texas adventure some time 54 what part of town are you in?

Perfect! thanks thanks for the help. I am feeling a little overwhelmed by trying to figure out all the little parts I need to gather up to build this thing.

I have an 81 motor ...and that's it. I have the coil but I am not sure if it is good. My question is if I buy a PAMCO and a PMA,will that include everything I need for ignition and charging? Also what do I need to do with those two items to make my bike kickstart only?

The hard-tailed part was extra info,kinda like those word problems in school. What I should have said is,I have a rolling chassis and motor and that is all,I got it cheap and am just going through it to see what all I will be needing to finish it..I didnt tear the bike down so Im still learning...

I have an 81 frame that has been hardtailed. I noticed today that the front wheel slides back and forth on the axel. It is a spoked wheel with a disc on it. Is supposed to be spacers?

Drugs are bad..mmmmkay:smoke:

Goldtooth,I will definitively make it to Austin for a ride. The guy I bought the bike from lives in College Station and his xs is almost done,we have been talking about a long weekend right sometime

These are pretty worn. The front is ok but the rear is starting to look more like a slick. Between carbs,ignition and tires Im going to have to drop a good chunk of change.

Old and dry rotted. Im not sure Ill have to check them out.

Looking for people in H-town that ride. I'm building my xs up now and it would be cool to have a group of us that can trade and sale and help out with builds,and of course ride our asses off. Im up north in The Woodlands. Just got a 1981,rolling chassis and motor. The frame is pretty much...
